The Allegheny County Department of Public Works today announced traffic restrictions and pending closure of Bower Hill Road, in Bridgeville Borough, Scott Township and Upper St. Clair Township beginning on Monday, June 16, 2014.

2012 marks the 100th anniversary of Mt Lebanon, a community which saw rapid growth following the opening of the Liberty Tunnel in the 1920s, and remains one of the most popular suburban communities in the Pittsburgh area.

Beginning on Monday, June 16, at 7:00 a.m., there will be single-lane alternating traffic on Bower Hill Road between Painters Run Road and McLaughlin Run Road. The restriction will continue through October 1, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Traffic will be controlled by flaggers at each worksite along Bower Hill Road. Total road closure for bridge reconstruction, with detour, is expected in early July. The restrictions are necessary in order for crews to perform two bridge repairs, shoulder reconstruction, drainage, milling and repaving of Bower Hill Road. Motorists are reminded to be aware of changing traffic patterns throughout the construction of the project.

The $1.8 million project will be completed by Lane Construction Corporation, whose offices are located in Bridgeville. For additional information on the Bower Hill Road reconstruction project, contact Project Manager Jeanna Fisher at 412-350-5978.
